The ORIGINAL gathering place for a merry band of Three Percenters. (As denounced by Bill Clinton on CNN!)

Well, that was fun. "Have you no shame?" "No, have YOU no shame?" Eric Holder's John Mitchell impression.

My laptop's ability to interface with the wifi crashed and I couldn't get on during the hearing. I am using the computers at GOA at the moment. Probably end up having to get something more modern for a laptop if I'm going to keep doing this. Will try to get on later this evening for a report. Much to say.

More fun and games tomorrow, too.

Wouldn't be surprised, now that Issa dropped the tactical nuke of more emails "turned over last evening" n(meaning that somebody else has rolled -- either Breuer or Weinstein -- that Holder's resignation "for the good of the administration to avoid further distraction will be announced late tomorrow.

There was a lot that they didn't cover, but Holder has guaranteed that we will have another Oversight Committee hearing in January.

The game is by no means ended. If anything, it is just the end of the beginning.

Run, Gunwalker Man, run.

Me?

I'm going out to eat Afghan to celebrate.

Sometimes I have to pinch myself. I just can't believe Mrs. Vanderboegh's wayward son finds himself in the middle of all this.

Don't know how you maintain your composure so well. I watched the entire broadcast on C-SPAN 3, and could not help but to want to bitchslap a few fuchwads. Glad to hear you have your son with you. Take care of each other and watch your six, HAVE SOME FUN ! YOU DESERVE IT. AGENDA 26

Y'know Mike, you being there in the middle of all this makes the rest of us feel like we're holding their feet to the fire too. Sure, you're doing all the work and taking all the heat while we read the cliff notes and nod approval, but every one of us wishes we could be there watching Holder squirm.I kept watching the infrequent shots of the spectators to see if I could pick you out. They must have given you a seat under the desk or something. There was no such problem finding Weich though. That slimy POS was right there looking over Holder's shoulder with a smug expression as if the whole hearing was a waste of time.If you want to make some $$$, sell chances to pull on the ropes at the 'Great D.C. Lamp Post Redecoration Event.' I'd buy a couple of tickets.

I'm getting really sick of Holder making excuses for his wrong doings, he was asked to resign and he is refusing, now it's time for the gloves to come off and appoint a Special presecuter and sack Holder and all who is involved in this mess.

I kept hoping u would post something during the hearing..I just could not watch very much of it due to the fact Holders non-answers/answers made me sick..Thank you for taking one for the team and being there.

I don't see him resigning for a couple reasons. 1) He an arrogant, hubris filled SOB. 2) Barry needs him too much as his firewall. I don't think he (BO) could find an adequate replacement for him. I don't see *anyone* in this administration leaving voluntarily. They will fight to the bitter end to keep their cushy perks and absolute power (and corruption) to push their ideology.

I just saw a comment by a Florida Congressman (Deutch-D) who wailed that this shows how we need stronger gun legislation to prevent these assault rifles from getting on to our streets. "Their only purpose is to kill people!" he proclaimed.

Well duh! I emailed the 'honorable' Deutch and referred him to the comments of Dr Suzanna Gratia-Hupp way back when, as she addressed Congress after the Killeen/Luby's murders years ago.

Distract them from the other evil they may lust to do.The more things like this they have to cover the less other evil they will have time and energy to do.These ones of the Pelosi, Schummer, Kerry, Obama, "William Ayers" Clintons etal are only 30% of the Democrats. They are only 10% of U.S.. This they too know.

So, they use the likes of Karl Rove and Romney and the other RINO's to cover their flank.

Mr. V, We ALL appreciate your hard work and dedication to this scandal. Please keep up the great work! I pray that justice will be done in this matter. Holder is a disgusting POS and my stomach turns at the sight of him - not to mention my boiling blood! Please let Issa, Grassley, Adams & Chaffetz know that good Americans are behind them and their demand for the truth.

Holder admitted that the Mexican government was not in on this. He also admitted that guns were walked. He so too admitted that walking guns across the border without coordination and permission from the country on the other side of the border is breaking the law.

Holder got nailed over and over and over again today, so long as people have been following along. For the typical person who has no idea what is going on, it looks like Holder was praised highly, like he broke this all open and is solving it all.....and......we just gotta have more gun control legislation to accomplish that.

"not one" commentary from Issa was interesting. I foind it especially bogus for Holder to say he directed the IG to do a full investigation but then says he didn't write anything down. What a crock. Yeah, a directive for a serious investigation of substance regarding GunWalker is done by word of mouth over the phone....suuuure it is.

I agree with Mike. Holder is out very very soon.

Did yall notice that Corzine was "testifying" today and Barry came out for a surprise presser and even took some questions? Can you say "control the message int he media"?

Time to dig out my list of the family tree of Eric Holder and his wife's family tree and get them ready for an old fashioned hanging party to lynch the whole lot of them. I seriously don't think any of them deserve to waste any more oxygen and this country really needs to be saved for future generations.

Hey Anonymous, I'd contribute to a reward fund. I agree with the sentiment. Unfortunately, I think the whistle-blowers who have the information we need would probably then be tainted by "unclean hands" -- I'm not familiar with the law but I would bet that leaking docs in exchange for money hurts them in the eyes of the whistle-blower protection laws.

I noticed that Holder was very adept at wasting as much of each of the republicans' allotted time as he possibly could, and anytime a "yes" or "no" answer was solicited he managed to spend as much time as he possibly could to successfully avoid answering the question.

My Blog List

Advice on child rearing from my son.

Everyone should grow up with simulated equipment from a heavy weapons platoon. It gives you a more well rounded education and an appreciation for the finer things in life. -- Sergeant Matthew Vanderboegh, United States Army.

"Progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress."

I believe that liberty is the only genuinely valuable thing that men have invented, at least in the field of government, in a thousand years. I believe that it is better to be free than to be not free, even when the former is dangerous and the latter safe. I believe that the finest qualities of man can flourish only in free air – that progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress, and of no permanent value. I believe that any man who takes the liberty of another into his keeping is bound to become a tyrant, and that any man who yields up his liberty, in however slight the measure, is bound to become a slave. -- H.L. Mencken

On the efficacy of passive resistance in the face of the collectivist beast. . .

Had the Japanese got as far as India, Gandhi's theories of "passive resistance" would have floated down the Ganges River with his bayoneted, beheaded carcass. -- Mike Vanderboegh.

In the future . . .

When the histories are written, “National Rifle Association” will be cross-referenced with “Judenrat.” -- Mike Vanderboegh to Sebastian at "Snowflakes in Hell"

"Smash the bloody mirror."

If you find yourself through the looking glass, where the verities of the world you knew and loved no longer apply, there is only one thing to do. Knock the Red Queen on her ass, turn around, and smash the bloody mirror. -- Mike Vanderboegh

From Kurt Hoffman over at Armed and Safe.

"I believe that being despised by the despicable is as good as being admired by the admirable."

From long experience myself, I can only say, "You betcha."

"Only cowards dare cringe."

The fears of man are many. He fears the shadow of death and the closed doors of the future. He is afraid for his friends and for his sons and of the specter of tomorrow. All his life's journey he walks in the lonely corridors of his controlled fears, if he is a man. For only fools will strut, and only cowards dare cringe. -- James Warner Bellah, "Spanish Man's Grave" in Reveille, Curtis Publishing, 1947.

"We fight an enemy that never sleeps."

"As our enemies work bit by bit to deconstruct, we must work bit by bit to REconstruct. Be mindful where we should be. Set goals. We fight an enemy that never sleeps. We must learn to sleep less." -- Mike H. at What McAuliffe Said

"The Fate of Unborn Millions. . ."

"The time is now near at hand which must probably determine, whether Americans are to be, Freemen, or Slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own; whether their Houses, and Farms, are to be pillaged and destroyed, and they consigned to a State of Wretchedness from which no human efforts will probably deliver them. The fate of unborn Millions will now depend, under God, on the Courage and Conduct of this army-Our cruel and unrelenting Enemy leaves us no choice but a brave resistance, or the most abject submission; that is all we can expect-We have therefore to resolve to conquer or die." -- George Washington to his troops before the Battle of Long Island.

"We will not go gently . . ."

This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can't be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won't be done. The Founders' Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.

But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.

And when we are gone, the scattered, free survivors hiding in the ruins of our once-great republic will sing of our deeds in forbidden songs, tending the flickering flame of individual liberty until it bursts forth again, as it must, generations later. We will live forever, like the Spartans at Thermopylae, in sacred memory.

"A common language of resistance . . ."

"Colonial rebellions throughout the modern world have been acts of shared political imagination. Unless unhappy people develop the capacity to trust other unhappy people, protest remains a local affair easily silenced by traditional authority. Usually, however, a moment arrives when large numbers of men and women realize for the first time that they enjoy the support of strangers, ordinary people much like themselves who happen to live in distant places and whom under normal circumstances they would never meet. It is an intoxicating discovery. A common language of resistance suddenly opens to those who are most vulnerable to painful retribution the possibility of creating a new community. As the conviction of solidarity grows, parochial issues and aspirations merge imperceptibly with a compelling national agenda which only a short time before may have been the dream of only a few. For many Americans colonists this moment occurred late in the spring of 1774." -- T.H. Breen, The Marketplace of Revolution: How Consumer Politics Shaped American Independence, Oxford University Press, 2004, p.1.
